Bhakshalu / Puran Poli / Obbattu / Holige / Oliga / Poleelu Ingredients :
Grated Raw Mango : 1/2 cup
Sooji / Semolina : 1 cup
Sugar : 1 + 1/4 cups
Maida : 1 cup
Ghee : 3 tbsp
Cardamom Powder : 1/2 tsp
Method :
Wash, peel and grate the raw mango and keep aside. Dry roast the semolina on low flame to light golden color. Then remove and keep it aside. Place a heavy bottomed pan on the flame and put one table spoon of ghee in it. Once ghee is heated add grated raw mango and fry it. After 3 to 4 minutes, add 2 cups of water and sugar. Heat them slowly untill the sugar dissolves. Once the sugar is dissolved completely, add roasted semolina and little ghee. Mix very well and cook on a low flame. When the mango mixture is thick enough, i.e., When the spoon remains standing when placed in the centre. If it falls down it means the stuffing is yet not done. Add cardamom powder and stir well. Remove it from the flame and allow it to cool, then shape into balls. Mix maida with melted ghee. Add water, make a soft dough. Cover it with a wet cloth and set aside for 1 hour. Take a small ball of the dough and roll a little. Put a stuffing ball in the centre. Cover the stuffing ball by drawing up the edges towards the centre. Press the dough on the floured board and roll out into a round roti. Put the roti on a hot tava, cook for a minute and turn once. After 1 minute, add a little ghee around the edges, turn again and fry the other side. When brown patches appear on both sides remove the stuffed roti from the tava and apply a little ghee.
